* Ideas (The selection, relevance and elaboration of ideas for a persuasive argument)
* Persuasive devices (The use of a range of persuasive devices to enhance the writer’s position and persuade the reader)
* Vocabulary (The range and precision of contextually appropriate language choices)
* Cohesion (The control of multiple threads and relationships across the text, achieved through the use of grammatical elements (referring words, text connectives, conjunctions) and lexical elements (substitutions, repetitions, word associations)
* Paragraphing (The segmenting of text into paragraphs that assists the reader to follow the line of argument)
* Sentence structure (The production of grammatically correct, structurally sound and meaningful sentences)
